Article
Patricia B. Lima, Auteur ; Liliane F. Lima, Auteur ; Braulio A. Santos, Auteur ; Marcelo Tabarelli, Auteur ; Carmen S. Zickel, AuteurUnderstanding the response of tropical plant communities to human disturbance is critical for conserving biodiversity in a changing world. Here we examine the shifts experienced by understory herb-assemblages while inhabiting small forest fragme[...]
Article
Felipe Pimentel Lopes de Melo, Auteur ; Rodolfo Dirzo, Auteur ; Marcelo Tabarelli, AuteurIn this paper, we test the hypothesis that seed rain in forest edges differs from that in forest interior in terms of seed abundance, species richness, seed size, dispersal mode, and manipulation by vertebrates. The study was carried out in the [...]
Article
Elaine M. S. Ribeiro, Auteur ; Victor Arroyo-Rodriguez, Auteur ; Braulio A. Santos, Auteur ; Marcelo Tabarelli, Auteur ; Inara R. Leal, AuteurIn addition to acute transformations of ecosystems caused by deforestation, old-growth forests world-wide are being increasingly altered by low-intensity but chronic human disturbance. Overgrazing and the continuous extraction of forest products[...]

Braulio A. Santos, Auteur ; Carlos A. Peres, Auteur ; Marcondes A. Oliveira, Auteur ; Alexandre Grillo, Auteur ; Cecilia P. Alves-Costa, Auteur ; Marcelo Tabarelli, AuteurThe long-term dynamics of plant communities remain poorly understood in isolated tropical forest fragments. Here we test the hypothesis that tropical tree assemblages in both small forest fragments and along forest edges of very large fragments [...]
Article
Marcelo Tabarelli, Auteur ; Carlos A. Peres, Auteur ; Felipe P. L. Melo, AuteurDespite its relevance to contemporary biodiversity conservation, the ecological mechanisms controlling nonrandom species replacements and biotic homogenization of native biotas remain poorly understood. Here, we advocate for the widespread occur[...]
Article
Ariadna Valentina Lopes, Auteur ; Luciana Coe Girao, Auteur ; Braulio Almeida Santos, Auteur ; Carlos A. Peres, Auteur ; Marcelo Tabarelli, AuteurHabitat loss and fragmentation promote relatively predicable shifts in the functional signature of tropical forest tree assemblages, but the full extent of cascading effects to biodiversity persistence remains poorly understood. Here we test the[...]
Article
Victor Arroyo-Rodriguez, Auteur ; Jeannine Cavender-Bares, Auteur ; Federico Escobar, Auteur ; Felipe P. L. Melo, Auteur ; Marcelo Tabarelli, Auteur ; Braulio A. Santos, Auteur1. Deforestation and forest fragmentation can drive species to local extinction, potentially changing the phylogenetic community structure and diversity of remaining assemblages. We tested this hypothesis analysing a large vegetation data set fr[...]

Victor Arroyo-Rodriguez, Auteur ; Matthias Roes, Auteur ; Federico Escobar, Auteur ; Felipe P. L. Melo, Auteur ; Braulio A. Santos, Auteur ; Marcelo Tabarelli, Auteur ; Robin Chazdon, AuteurLand-use change is the main driver of global biodiversity loss, but its relative impact on species turnover (-diversity) across multiple spatial scales remains unclear. Plant communities in fragmented rain forests can undergo declines (floristic[...]
Article
Marcelo Tabarelli, Auteur ; Antonio Venceslau Aguiar, Auteur ; Milton Cezar Ribeiro, Auteur ; Jean Paul Metzger, Auteur ; Carlos A. Peres, AuteurRecent global assessments have shown the limited coverage of protected areas across tropical biotas, fuelling a growing interest in the potential conservation services provided by anthropogenic landscapes. Here we examine the geographic distribu[...]
